cuit Theater, Inc. - Moving clown fi. to the beart of the City, this group1 lias made the charming Littie theater of the Chicago' Woman's club the locale for the six plays it is present- ing once a month, with five stili to be staged, th.' next "Passing iGlory," by John J. Irving, to be given Janu- ary 2, 3. 4, 5, and 6. Its flrst presentation this month, "Canaries Sometimes Sing," by Fred- erickI.onsdale, whose stage successes have been many, was a Most credit.- able performance, auguring well for thé other plays, three of, wh ich are original productions. In direction, acting, and staging, "Canaries, Some- times Sing" was lifted up and beyond the rank ofý the amateur, ýone per- ceived. at once.'

He and Muriel Anda, as thé former, cborus girl 'wbo married the Englishman of ,high social stand- ing, gaveè natural finterpretations of. their parts. Color .was used artistically iii the charming stage setting and in the l)ecoming. costumes of the actresses. Theý carrying out of the living room to the edge of tbe stage effecteda oneness between audience and actors and added bet ween-act atmosphere. ta the very harmonious, and reposeful green and silver theater that houses the plays.
